Culbertson Memorial Hospital issued the following announcement on Dec. 26.
Over the past few weeks we have been asked by our patients how someone who has recovered from COVID-19 can donate plasma. According to the American Red Cross, if someone was diagnosed with COVID and is interested in donating convalescent plasma, they would need to meet the following criteria:
- Are at least 17 years old and weigh 110 lbs. Additional weight requirements apply for donors age 18 or younger.
- Are in good health. You generally feel well, even if you're being treated for a chronic condition. View blood donation eligibility FAQ’s.
- Have a prior, verified diagnosis of COVID-19, but are now are symptom free and fully recovered from COVID-19.
The nearest Red Cross Donation Center to Rushville is located in Peoria.
